Anyway, yeah most if not all of the connections on Encore God Fire are hot garbage and other things like small Optimus\'s leg panels not wanting to close all the way so his vehicle mode is completely compromised. It\'s such a huge bummer as like Seth, my originals were starting to show their age.

FYI I ended up taking the 6000 yen partial refund from HLJ as 1: I was too lazy to ship it back and 2: I am keeping them uncombined on the back of their shelf so they are held up by the wall

And I know it was barely touched upon in the beginning of the Magic discussion, but the Hot Wheels community is really horrific. The “investing” and hoarding and Mattel’s even lousier distribution.

Magic’s looking like a better thing to get into more and more to me.

I feel like I get 99% percent of the enjoyment from hotwheels by watching a channel where this guy shows off his collection and lets his viewers vote on which cars run through different tracks he's got set up and films that. Can't remember what the channel was though, so maybe it wasn't for me…

I recently sold my original RID Optimus and Magnus because I wanted to scale back to just G1 characters. I wonder if I would have gotten more money now that this encore set has some issues. Not that I'm trying to scalp, just thinking about what could have been. It really is a bummer to see this happen to everyone.

Basically I can guarantee that literal minutes of dead air is something I won't do on purpose

That Guy

Quick question on the editing stuff, at the end of the podcasts (all of them I listen to) it seems like the last 30 seconds of discussion and outro are repeated on loop for 3-4 minutes for some reason. I am wondering if it is the app I use to listen, but I don't seem to get that problem on other podcasts, anyone else experience that at the end?

Thanks for answering. Glad you went with annoyances and Seth was right, I meant mythos, not fandom.. Nothing in the actual mythos angers me. It’s goddamn fictional transforming robots. The day I get angry is the day I quit.

fyi I thought I covered the bit at the end where my audacity recording crapped out but it sounds like it also happens earlier

can anyone give me timecodes for the dead air please

EDIT 1 nevermind it was a full on disconnect, editing it out now

EDIT 2 okay should be fixed now!

Pax from another universe where he was just as good at his job but wasn't charismatic enough to inspire others to follow his lead. With almost no support, he went it nearly alone and became a total butcher the Cybertron he saved didn't want around. So they captured and dumped him into another dimension.

Pre-releases are usually pretty chill affairs and veteran players kind of have a certain understanding that such events are usually for entry level players and will instinctually dial it back a little. Depends on your card pool too. Even the better players can be outdone by a poor card pool and natural variance in sealed or draft formats.

Come on, that picture man… I haven\'t listened to the podcast yet, but I don\'t know if I need that temptation in my life. I\'m doing a draft with some friends next Saturday, and I\'m reading up on the lore for the block, but I also have a combo pack (Booster Box, Fat Pack, 2 Themedecks) and a prerelease box sitting in my Amazon cart. I know I shouldin\'t, but I got into Magic during Invasion, left after Ravnica, and Return to Dominaria is really tugging at me.
